Off The Bench with Heidi St. John Heidi St. John

Transitioning our teens from middle school into high school and later can feel quite uncertain. Shellie Doub, an independent educational consultant and the Director of Dual Enrollment at Cedarville University, is here today to guide us through preparing our kids for the post-high school years and how we look ahead to set our kids up for success. Is dual enrollment a good option? What skills do they need to be ready? Should my kid go to college? Listen in for this and more. I know you’ll be encouraged!

You might notice that parents go awfully quiet during the teen years, because it’s hard to talk about the challenges of this season without throwing our kids under the bus or making them feel like a burden.

The transition from parenting little ones to parenting teenagers to shepherding and encouraging your young adult can be a bumpy one. Matt and Lisa Jacobson are joining me on the podcast today, you guys are going to love this conversation. It's going to give you hope and direction!

It’s clear that we have a crisis of fatherlessness in our culture today. God calls husbands and wives to the front lines of the culture wars, and He has given His people the tools to use His word to engage in the battle. Ben Myers joins me today to call up dads to a place of spiritual maturity within your home. It’s not as hard as we make it out to be, and it is necessary for our children.
